Our lot since I've been watching have been: Moore - DC Pulis - DR/MR Monk - DC Lukuhay - ??? (midfielder, apparently) Carvalhal - CB Gray - DL mostly Jones - CB? Megson - MC Irvine - AMR Laws - DR Sturrock - AMC / ST Turner - GK Yorath - CM Shreeves - AM RL? Jewell - ST Wilson - MR Pleat - AML?

I wonder if it’s because defenders or midfield captain types already have to do a lot of organising, taking and get a better reading of the game. Strikers perhaps more focusing on how they do individually to beat the defensive tactics. Who knows but must be something to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows but must be something to it Yep, that's exactly my take - wingers, strikers and keepers have a more individualist mindset whereas it'd be a rare centre-half who excelled without thinking constantly about the collective...

adelphi1867 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 ALL the best managers were Workmanlike players. They had to learn how to play football, unlike the Best's, B Charlton, Cryuff etc. There are the exceptions of course in every walk of life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was of the same opinion. You are probably right. For many years I would look back at the day he pushed the ref over as the day the wheels came off at Wednesday. However, I do think he could do a job, at this level with these players. I guess he will always be divisive at this club, so in that case he's not the answer.

Most managers seem to me to be defenders with a don't lose mindset. Yes the set up at S5 stinks but when was the last time we had an attacking minded boss? Burton Albion manager was not a bad striker either. derby county manager midfielder or striker you decide. Klopp began his playing career as a striker too. I am sure there are many more.

TrickyTrev Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Going on the pre match build up to the 1993 FA Cup semi final, casting my mind back to Viv Anderson running through the squad, you could also list Carlton Palmer as a striker who went on to manage. ”Defender…. Come midfielder…. Come attacker” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
